I thought I'd write a little update for people who haven't been following this thing closely.

Vikings

- Interested in RFA Marlin Jackson. Didn't get tendered, so they could sign him, even with the final 8 rule prohibiting them from signing an UFA.
- Lost Chester Taylor to FA. He later signed with the Bears.
- Due to Taylor signing somewhere else, the Vikings can now sign one UFA.
- Lost Artis Hicks to FA. He signed with the Redskins.
- Signed K Rhys Lloyd. Potential kick-off specialist.
- Resigned Benny Sapp
- LDT decided to join the Jets, after the Vikings tried to get him.
- Lost Paymah. Jennings will miss him.
- Signed Kick-off specialist Lloyd.
- Signed Lito Sheppard.

Lions

- Traded a 5th and a 6th to the Browns for Corey Williams.
- Signed Kyle Vanden Bosch. Vanden Bosch played for Schwartz in Tennessee.
- Signed Nate Burleson to a 5 year deal.
- Let starting CB Philip Buchanon go.
- Released Grady Jackson. Started 13 games in 2009.
- Traded a 5th and a 6th for Atlanta's 5th and CB Chris Houston.
- Signed FA CB Jonathan Wade.
- Traded a 7th for QB Shaun Hill.
- Lost LB Foote to FA. He signed with the Steelers.
- Traded a 5th and DE Henderson to the Seahawks for OG Sims and a 7th.
- Traded Ernie Sims to the Eagles and receiver a 7th round pick and Tony Scheffler from the Broncos in a 3-way trade.

Bears

- Signed Julius Peppers.
- Signed Brandon Manumaleuna.
- Signed Chester Taylor.
- Expected to trade Greg Olsen, who "doesn't fit Martz's offensive scheme".

Packers

- Re-signed FA Clifton. Got heavy interest from Redskins.
- Lost Aaron Kampman to the Jaguars.
- Signed Ryan Pickett to 4 year deal.
- Signed Nick Collins to 3 year deal.
- Signed FA RT Tauscher to 2 year deal.
- Signed a punter from the Australia to a 3 year deal.

Packers

- Most likely, the Redskins will sign Clifton. Packers couldn't get a deal done. (Causing mass panic in cheesehead nation... reports of mob forming at 1265 Lombardi.. 😉 )
- Lost Aaron Kampman to FA.

I want to add someone the Packers should be talking to that noone probably will even think of, We should be trying to talk Craig Hentrich about coming back home. Just a thought

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

"That's a fine tail you have there, Ted. So tell me, if you don't come out of this office with my main man Jared, who exactly will be your left tackle?"

"Err, umm, fella by the name of Lang."

Room erupts in hysterical laughter.

Biscotti: "Ozzie, you ever heard of this guy Lang? How'd he look at the combine?"

Ozzie Newsome: "Steve, he wasn't invited to the combine."

Collective shake of the head.

"Ted, Ted ted...you poor, poor man"

More laughter.

Coach John Matso, O-line coach of the Ravens: "Hey, I heard the kid has some potential, he goes about 316 and has the same arm length as Joe Thomas"

[muffled snickers]

Owner Steve Biscotti:

"He weighs 307, John"

More laughter....

Tell Wade I'm goin' back to drinkin'

Now that would be a very nice idea. I don't think that he's coming back, but that'd be a great solution for our punting problem. He still has quite a leg.

NFP- Bucs have huge interest in Kampman

Defensive end is No. 1 target of Tampa Bay Brad Biggs

Reports right now are linking Aaron Kampman to the Seattle Seahawks, suggesting that the high-motor defensive end could be headed west to reunite with new general manager John Schneider, who knows him well from their days in Green Bay.

That very well could happen. With Julius Peppers en route to Chicago and the Bears expected to get his name on a contract by the end of the day, and with Kyle Vanden Bosch apparently landing in Detroit, Kampman is easily the most talented pass rusher on the market.

And there is one team that doesnt have a lot of money committed to players that has a lot of interest in Kampman. A league source with knowledge of the situation said that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have huge interest in Kampman and classified the veteran as the clubs No. 1 target in free agency.

It would make sense. The Bucs have a very real need for a pass rusher and with a young team and young coaching staff, Kampman is the kind of player who could come in and provide a steadying influence.

Whether or not the Bucs will get an opportunity to make a run at Kampman remains to be seen, but rest assured Tampa is in pursuit.

I just filed a quick story to our news side, and want to bring you up to date. Detroit has agreed to terms with veteran defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch on a four-year contract. Vanden Bosch confirmed the agreement during a Friday morning appearance on 104.5 in Nashville, Tenn.

(Full disclosure: My AFC South colleague Paul Kuharsky is one of shows hosts.)

Ill be back shortly with some analysis.

I must say, I do enjoy watching our once pitiful division become a powerhouse, with hopefully the Packers standing atop a pile of blue, purple and orange.

Martha Careful (21-Dec) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

packerfanoutwest (21-Dec) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : RB David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery.
